Tamil Nadu: A shocking case of alleged animal cruelty has surfaced from Tamil Nadu where a woman was caught on CCTV brutally killing two dog puppies and reportedly hanging two others from a tree following a personal dispute with a family living across from her. The disturbing incident, which has triggered widespread outrage online, came to light after a video of the act went viral on social media.
The video was shared on X by animal activist Vidit Sharma. The CCTV footage dated March 4 shows a rickshaw with a Tamil Nadu registration plate parked in the area while several puppies are seen wandering and barking nearby.
Woman Brutally Smashes Dog Puppies To Death
Moments later, a woman walks into the frame from a nearby house. In the video, she is seen picking up one of the puppies from beneath the rickshaw and violently smashing it against a wall. The shocking act continues as she immediately grabs another puppy and repeats the same brutal action before calmly leaving the scene and returning to her house.
According to Sharma’s post on social media, the alleged attack was linked to a personal dispute between the woman and a family living opposite her residence. He further claimed that when an animal rescue team arrived at the location along with police personnel, the woman locked herself inside her house for nearly an hour.
Sharma also alleged that when she eventually stepped out, she used her child as a shield, apparently hoping that the presence of the child would prevent people from confronting her or taking strict action against her. The post further claimed that two additional puppies were found hanging from a nearby tree, though details regarding that claim have not been independently verified.
